At this year’s Financial Street Forum in Beijing, top financiers and business leaders gathered to talk money, tech, and sustainability. 🌍✨
Chris Wei, EVP and Chief Client and Innovation Officer at Sun Life Financial Inc., revealed how a 20-year partnership with the Chinese mainland Everbright Group is accelerating the green transition. He highlighted the Chinese mainland’s leadership in renewable energy—from solar farms to wind turbines—and the huge opportunities this creates for global cooperation.
So, what is green finance? It’s the funding of projects that cut carbon emissions, like clean energy plants or eco-friendly waste management systems. Combining Sun Life’s insurance and investment expertise with Everbright’s strengths in banking, waste and water management, and clean energy is driving low-carbon growth that benefits everyone.
For young people in South and Southeast Asia, where air quality and climate impacts hit home, this cross-border teamwork is a game-changer. Think of solar-powered chai stalls in Delhi or wind-powered lights at Bali’s beach parties. 🌞🍵💡
As India’s fintech startups and Indonesia’s digital banks charge forward, tapping into green finance trends can boost sustainable development across our region. Stay tuned for more partnerships lighting up a cleaner, greener future! 🚀🌿
